Crash9 - Question on your setup :)

[KernelSanders]

Hey Crash9,
I was looking at your site and was wondering what that video monitor/box config you have is and where did you get that?

I picked up the Headplay system but they did a really bad job on the connector that goes from the headgear to the liberator box, so I get the video dropping out to a blue screen if I move the wrong way. I'm not too happy with that setup so I was thinking about something like your setup where I can fly around normally, or look into the monitor for FPV. I like your setup because it deals with the sun. I can't really see anything on my little monitor. I guess I could wrap it with some carboard, but i'm lazy, and busy, (more lazy than busy), so I would rather just buy something like yours.
I also just ordered a mount from you for my GoPro HD. Damn, 5-18 days to ship!!!

This might help... I made mine using 0.60 Aluminum (I'm a sign maker by trade) ... I bought a sheetmetal break at harbor freight for $250.. and got to bending... my first one was a cardboard mock up of what i have now... my RX is sticky taped to the underside... it's a bit heavy but will never fall apart.. My patch mounts to it's own tripod. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a38...e1342Large.jpg

Very nice. Thanks. I may have to visit harbor freight.
What's the max thickness that brake can handle, do you know?

[savage 40]

not sure... but pretty thick.. I mocked it up first using a 6" square cardboard box then when i was sure it would work I redid it as shoen..

I've bent 0.090in aluminum with that brake. It has two big lever pulls, and you should hold the brake down to a firm bench with C clamps. You could put longer steel conduit over the levers if you needed more leverage.

Cool. I think I need one for some projects. Thanks.
